Bridging the Gap between Design Academia and Service Design Industry

Free and open to all.

Join us for an enlightening event, "Bridging the Gap: Design Industry and Service Design Education Correlation and Collaboration Dialogue," where we bring together thought leaders from both realms to explore synergies, foster innovation, and pave the way for future collaborations. This dialogue aims to create a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, insights, and best practices between academic institutions and industry professionals.

The event will feature keynote presentations from distinguished speakers, panel discussions with experts from diverse design disciplines, and interactive sessions that encourage active participation from attendees. Topics will include the integration of academic research into practical applications, the evolving needs of the design industry, and strategies for cultivating the next generation of designers.

Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers, establish meaningful connections, and discuss the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of design education and professional practice. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this event aspires to enhance the relevance and impact of design in solving real-world problems and advancing the field.
